Giants' Devin Taylor could turn out to be a 'great signing'

The New York Giants didn’t add significant players to the defensive end room. With two of the best pass rushers in the league, the Giants were looking for developmental pieces and depth but they may have gotten more than they thought in Devin Taylor.

A few weeks back, the Giants signed Taylor to a one-year deal and with $40,000 being guaranteed, they aren’t paying much for a pass rusher who has shown to have the ability to get after the quarterback.

With very little risk involved and for such a low cost, ESPN’s Jordan Raanan heard from a source that it could be a “great signing” for Big Blue if Taylor is to pan out.

The Giants already have Olivier Vernon and Jason Pierre-Paul under massive contracts. Both of them played well together in 2016 and by mid-season, they hit their groove, applying pressure off of the edge from both sides.

Vernon racked up 8.5 sacks and was the league leader in tackles for loss while Pierre-Paul proved that the fireworks incident from 2015 that claimed a few fingers showed no ill effects in his game.

Taylor comes over from the Detroit Lions and while many were disappointed in his 2016 season, he is only a season removed from a seven-sack campaign.
